trail gear rock assault 9 front

[stuftmunky2k]

Been looking at the front roller kit for a good bit. Seems like a good price for whats all there and what dave from davesoffroad quoted. My issue is im running 17" double beadlock wheels and after calling trail gear and talking with them i couldnt get a for sure answer on if they will clear the calipers. Didnt know if anybody is running one and what they think of them. I measured the inside of the rims and they are 15 1/4" opening with the bead lock rings. Any help or insight would be much appreciated. Dont know if its worth switching from my double beadlocks to a single beadlock or abort mission.

what axle/brakes are you running now?

the RA9 comes with the little wildwood calipers and rotors,

Pretty sure I've seen a several of the "bouncer" rigs running the same wildwood brake setup with double beadlocked 17s.

Running the standard issued toyotas front and rear. Dual piston brakes up front and monte carlo brakes in rear

I'm using the Spidertrax hats and rotors on my build, I believe they're pretty much the same as the TG stuff. I'm running 17" Stazworks wheels. They're a two-piece style double beadlock though, they don't have an inner ring. Honestly I don't think they would clear an inner beadlock ring. They're relatively close on my wheels. These pics don't do a great job of showing it, but they're the best I have currently.





That's a 14" diameter rotor. I'd say the caliper sticks out at least 1" past the rotor, so that would require minimum 16" diameter to clear.





I'm at work tonight, but I can probably get you some exact measurements tomorrow after I get up.

I would much appreciate it. I really love your build cant wait to see it in action.

Thanks! I have to get back on the ball. It's been months since I've even laid a hand on it. I'll try my best to get you some measurements tomorrow.

Re:

Could always glue on king pin or balljoint c and knuckles with spindles to clear whatever is needed.

My 14" spidertrax brake setup barely clears my 17" raceline wheels. No way a beadlock ring would clear my 6 piston wilwood calipers

Same here with a 17" TR HD.

Thanks for the info guys. Was looking into the c and knuckle kit from crane last nite. Think i can do that setup around the same price. But then lots of coin for a 9". Only being pushed by a turbo 22r im building this winter ujt want to stay light as possible

Measuring the best I could without pulling a wheel off it would take a minimum of 16", maybe more like 16.5", to clear the caliper.
